Philadelphia's 53-man roster spotlight centers on youth and depth behind the top stars. Hurts stays as the obvious starter in a three-QB room, with Tanner McKee and Sam Howell filling the depth chart and discussion turning to how the offense uses its receiver corps after the Cooper-Dodson-Metchie trio emerges. Darius Cooper seizes a spot, while Cameron Williams and Trevor Keegan land roster spots alongside Miles Hinton landing on IR, signalling a long-game plan for the line and pass-catchers.

On defense, the Eagles push 11 O-line options, six corners and a full set of edge-rushers, with Tristan McCollum anchoring at safety and Andre Sam providing late-round intrigue. The day’s chatter shifts to who could land on the practice squad and how the return game and long snapper situation could shift the roster in the next 24 hours, all with an eye on Week 1 versus Dallas.

Fantasy takeaway: Cooper’s elevation matters most behind the star receivers, while McKee, Williams, and Keegan give the offense a stacking of upside plays. Expect incremental targets for the rookie trio and potential immediate value for Cooper as a late-season, high-upside bench option. The roster’s evolution keeps the door open for surprise contributors who could leap into immediate snaps.

Philadelphia's training camp day tested depth and exposed how quickly the offense can shift when top targets sit. AJ Brown and Devonte Smith were sidelined, opening avenues for John Metchie III and Johnny Wilson to show their wares. Mechie, returning from ACL and leukemia battles, stepped into a larger role, while the offensive line depth was stressed as Landon Dickerson sat and Matt Prior rotated in at left tackle. Will Shipley and Darius Cooper drew frequent targets as the receivers shuffled, signaling fantasy implications for week-to-week volume if injuries linger and practice reps remain split.

Meanwhile, the defense showcased unusual flexibility, with Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis anchoring a rotating front and Keely Ringo and Adoree' Jackson sparking nickel reps. The QB3 race tightened as Dorian Thompson-Robinson outperformed Kyle McCord with Tanner McKee out; Kyle McCord still earned second-team snaps, suggesting a near-term path for development in a rookie contract landscape. A late-game spike decision drew praise and critique, underscoring the need to balance clock management with aggressive play-calling in August. Future is bright for Mechie and Calcaterra as the receiving group reshapes itself around injuries and evolving depth.

San Francisco’s WR room remains a top talking point as injuries mount and the 49ers explore external help without breaking the bank. Purdy connected with Pearsall on a timely Week 2 drive against the Raiders, signaling growing chemistry with a young depth chart that could lean on Pearsall, Jennings, and Ayuk once all are healthy. San Francisco entertained John Metchie III in trade talks but settled for a low-cost move, underscoring a preference for rookie-scale talent over expensive veterans. The kicker: even as Mechi lingered, the Rams and Raiders offered competing narratives on roster completeness, while the 49ers’ guard depth and tackle health loom large for Week 1. The offense looks to pace itself around Purdy’s timing and Pearsall’s route-running, with Bray Ayuk’s eventual return a potential catalyst, and the defense waits to find its footing behind a less-than-full front.

Andrew Makuba seized the spotlight as the Eagles’ camp conversations sharpen around the safety job, with Vic Fangio praising his instinct and playmaking after a limited but splashy preseason. Cooper DeJean’s emergence at outside corner adds depth to a position battle that also features Adoree' Jackson and Jakorian Bennett, while Sydney Brown remains the versatile anchor next to Makuba. The John Metchie III trade signals Philadelphia’s willingness to add a seasoned route-runner behind the top trio, even as the receiver room debates six- or seven-man alignments behind AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s QB arc in Cleveland drew a sobering line: the DTR dream may be over, with McCord rising as the longer-term play in trainer-speak, even as the Browns keep DTR on a tight leash. All of this frames a week-one roster window where Keely Ringo’s development, Johnny Wilson’s putative roster case, and Cooper DeJean’s readiness will be felt in nickel-and-dime packages and special teams alike. Fans eye the corner, safety, and edge rotations with heightened anticipation as week one approaches.
